OOTD - Under the Influence

I'm beginning to realize that the tiny humans that live in my house influence me more than I realized!  Any time I bring home new clothes for the girls, they immediately remove the tags and want to wear their new duds as soon as possible.  Which is exactly what I did with this dress!  I happened upon it on a shopping trip, and HAD to wear it the very next day.  At least I talked myself out of pairing it with light-up sneakers! (kidding... or am I?)

#FairTuesday

Well, Thanksgiving is over.  All the turkey has been consumed and it's on to the next holiday!  A lot of people have already gotten a jump on their Christmas shopping by participating in the Black Friday sales.  I personally didn't, since the idea of getting hip-checked into a rack of clothes over a pair of socks (this actually happened to a friend!) just isn't my introverted cup of tea.  There is one sale day I get excited about every year, though, and that's Fair Tuesday!  I wanted to share some of the sales with all of you, in case you're looking for some ethical gift ideas this year!  The best part? All the sales are online, so I don't have to get out of my jammies.

Ten Thousand Villages: Fair trade products made by artisans around the world.  They're offering 30% off all their jewelry today, and free shipping on orders over $50. (no coupon code needed)  This lovely is my favorite, and is only $27.30:

You know who almost never wins contests?  Me.  You know who just won a super-cute new purse in a giveaway from one of her favorite companies?

OOTD - I'm Alive!!

Hi, ya'll!  It's been a while, hasn't it?  I did not intend to take such a long break from blogging, but the weather change (and health issues that go along with it) have knocked us onto our butts in the past few weeks!  Between sinus issues, kids' bellyaches, and Baby A having not one, but TWO viruses already this year, we'd almost decided to seal ourselves inside a giant bubble until March!  Thankfully, though, we haven't had anything too serious, and I believe everyone is on the mend and things can get back to normal.  Or, at least, whatever our version of 'normal' is!

Fair Trade Friday - Sweater Weather

It's finally feeling like autumn!  I'll be honest, I've had a few days in the past few weeks where I've wanted to wear a sweater despite the still 80-degree temps, just because in my head, it should already be fall weather.  But, it's finally here!  Having to bundle up put me in the mood to do some online window-shopping for some knitwear, and I'd like to share a few favorites I found on Fair Indigo.
